Evensong

“I Know that My Redeemer Lives”
 
I know that my Redeemer lives
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead
He lives, my ever-living Head.
 
He lives to bless me with his love
He lives to plead for me above
He lives my hungry soul to feed
He lives to bless in time of need.
 
He lives to grant me rich supply
He lives to guide me with his eye
He lives to comfort me when faint
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
 
He lives to silence all my fears
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart
He lives all blessings to impart.
 
He lives, my kind, wise heav’nly Friend
He lives and loves me to the end
He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
 
He lives and grants me daily breath
He lives, and I shall conquer death
He lives my mansion to prepare
He lives to bring me safely there.
 
He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”
 
He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”
